Father's Day Gifts

When it comes to giving gifts my kids get overly excited. They have a very hard time waiting until an actual day to give something. Father's Day being on a Sunday makes it tough to decide if we should celebrate early or late as Daddy is too busy on Sunday to celebrate. So, we did the gifts early and out special time together late.

At preschool Zilla made 手伝い券（helper coupons) for Daddy to use to ask for special help. These have the potential to be very useful!

On the Pink and Green Mama blog I saw the idea for a shirt with a map on the back so that as the kids play dad gets a back massage. Zilla and I had a great time drawing it while Mega napped one day. Of course, as soon as it was done he wanted to test it on Daddy. So, when Daddy came home 10 minutes before bedtime on Friday night we spent those 10 minutes opening his gifts because the kids couldn't wait any longer!
I think this is a gift we could make again in a few years when the kids are better at drawing. It is such an easy and wonderful homemade gift!
